Hi everyone (
@Jessica Booker) (
@AvniD) - I have benefitted from many helpful posts here but posting myself for the first time and would appreciate any insight/advice on the following.
I'm currently doing the LPC and am sponsored by a City law firm with whom I have a London TC starting March '24. Doing the LPC has informed me that I want to do Restructuring and Private Equity but my firm does not specialise in these areas. A US firm that does specialise in these areas is recruiting for the same intake as me (direct TC) and I was wondering what the repercussions could be if I were to apply to this firm. I appreciate that I would have to pay back GDL/LPC fees including any grants to my current firm but I could do that from the retrospective pay I receive from the new firm if I was to be successful. Do you think I can be honest with the new firm and explain my situation / is there a right way of navigating this?
Thanks in advance guys. I appreciate that having a TC is a privileged position but this has been bothering me for a while now so would really appreciate any input. Have a great day/evening!
